Visitors to Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral today were shocked by a surprise visit from a Russian feminist punk band "Pussy Riot," whose members eluded security long enough to put on a five-minute performance near the church's altar,
Four members of the all-girl punk band, dressed in their usual outfits of brightly-colored mini-dresses and masks, rushed the cathedral and managed to play for a few minutes before security guards escorted them from the building, according to Russian news site Izvestiya.

"It lasted no more than five minutes and then it was over," blogger Alexander Kashin told Russian news site Gazeta.ru. "It was right inside the building, in front of the altar. As soon as they started to perform, guards came from all sides, starting to grab them and trying to chase them out by yelling at them."
